From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"It's Katagiri Mie! God, she's not the kind of reckless child..."

"Don't talk yet!" Xia Chuan immediately began to look for her breath, looking for the spiritual energy attached to the objects he had given her, but found nothing.

"Who are the warriors with her?" he immediately asked again.

Sato Kentaro told him the names of the three chosen warriors, but also got nothing.

When he wasn't paying attention, the spiritual energy on all the artifacts in their group had been wiped out.

"Rena Kawaguchi!" Natsukawa immediately found the shrine maiden who was trying to solve the problem with her own efforts.

"My Lord God?" She was startled.

"Their auras have all disappeared." Xia Chuan was too lazy to say anything to her. "They have wiped it out so thoroughly, they are not ordinary people. Don't act on your own, return to a safe place immediately, call Gao Ye's people to help, and investigate all the information before they disappeared! I'll be there right away!"

"Yes." Kawaguchi Rena was actually about to rush to the place where the previous group was originally going to, but Natsukawa's order was very clear, so she had to stop and start mobilizing Takano's forces according to Natsukawa's instructions.

Sometimes, humans can play a greater role than them.

"The last time they appeared was in the road surveillance near the target location. From the video, we can see that they followed the car led by Takano through the intersection, turned right into the target area, and never came out again. It has been confirmed that the two cars plus the police car that arrived earlier were all parked near the target location. For safety reasons, only a remote-controlled robot was sent in, but no suspicious circumstances were found."

"Okay, wait here." Xia Chuan said, and then teleported inside.

This is a farm located on the outskirts of Kobe. There are Wagyu cattle grazing leisurely on the grass outside, and there is nothing unusual to see.

The same was true at the farm. There were no signs of fighting and no noteworthy clues left.

What caught Xia Chuan's extra attention was that because it had rained before, the road outside the farm was muddy, but apart from tire marks and a few footprints that should be the farm owner's, and the marks left by a remote-controlled robot driving all the way from a distance, there were no other noteworthy traces.

The same was true around the police car, Takano's car, and the car that the missing shrine maiden and samurai were riding in. There was no sign of them getting out of the car.

It was like they drove here and suddenly disappeared.

Chapter 269 The Missing Witch (2)

Xiachuan controlled the crows to search in a vast area of ​​100 miles in radius. The Kono Agency also expanded its search range indefinitely. Because the area where the accident occurred was close to the jurisdiction of other agencies, the Izumo Agency in charge of the Sanyo and Sanin regions and the Kenzan Agency in the Shikoku region also took action quickly and sent people to search for the missing persons, but after most of the day, there was still no result.

Standing at the farm where the incident occurred, one could see the Seto Inland Sea across the way, which made people wonder if they were killed and then hidden there. Xia Chuan also sent Paul to the water to check, but the result was still the same.

This situation made Xia Chuan a little crazy.

Although many people had advised him at different times and places to act like a god and not care too much about his believers and subordinates, and he had also vowed to make changes, when things really happened in front of him, he could not just ignore it.

If he died, it would be fine. For him, the only thing he had to do was to make the enemy pay the price. But in this state, it was simply...

There was a sudden warning from Nomiya Kana, and he immediately turned his attention to find Kuroda Mitsui walking into the main hall in a hurry.

"What happened?" he asked through Kana Nomiya.

"The Special Welfare Office just called... Lord Hailin... A few hours ago, someone was suspected of performing a human sacrifice ritual at Sofuku-ji Temple in Nagasaki. The Shimabara Agency and the Special Welfare Office immediately sent people to deal with it... Because the situation was serious and the injuries were too severe, the Special Welfare Office finally launched an airstrike. The scene has just been cleaned up... I'm sorry, Lord Hailin, the person who performed the ritual is highly suspected to be the missing person..."

Natsukawa's anger was instantly ignited, but he had no reason to vent it on Kuroda Koji.

"Haishan will be there soon!" he said to Kuroda Mitsui.

"Yes, I will contact the Special Welfare Office immediately, but... Lord Hailin, there must be some misunderstandings here, which led to the attitude of the Special Welfare Office..."

"...I will ask Mukuyama to restrain himself."

Natsukawa immediately took action and asked all personnel to return to a safe place. At the same time, he asked key members such as Erika the Fox Demon, Ichiryu Kiryu, Chiyu Moriyama, Yui Aoki, Rena Kawaguchi and Kentaro Sato to enter combat readiness immediately.

This incident and the previous frame-up were definitely part of a series of conspiracies. The problem now was that he didn't know where to defend himself due to the lack of necessary information. In such a short time and under such circumstances, he had no way to leave Japan and go to the United States to fight back.

While moving quickly towards Nagasaki, he called Long Qingting and told him what had just happened.

"Don't worry, I have a good relationship with the Tefu Office. I'll call them right away." Long Qingting said immediately. "This is clearly a frame-up by the Watchers. I won't let them get what they want!"

The straight-line distance was less than 500 kilometers, and Xia Chuan arrived at the scene in less than two hours. Long Qingting also briefly introduced to him over the phone the situation he had learned from his acquaintances in the Special Welfare Office.

The evidence would be very unfavorable to the skeleton. Various surveillance videos and other evidence found by the Special Welfare Office and the Shimabara Organization showed that the missing priestess and the chosen warrior came to this place on their own, then blocked the temple, captured all the tourists and monks in the temple and brought them to the main hall, where they performed a cruel human sacrifice ritual.

Their previous actions had already triggered the monitoring equipment installed by the Shimabara Agency in the temple, causing the Shimabara Agency to immediately dispatch personnel. The strong abnormal changes caused by the ceremony further alarmed the Shimabara Agency and the Special Welfare Office, causing them to escalate the level of their actions.

During the Shimabara Agency's attempt to stop the ceremony, the chosen warriors went on a killing spree, killing more than 30 police officers and nine Shimabara Agency agents, and one of the Special Forces agents was also killed on the spot. It was under such circumstances that the Special Forces decided to launch an air strike.

The ceremony seemed to be successfully stopped, but the final death toll exceeded 200. For the Special Welfare Office, which always aimed at stability and rarely encountered such incidents in its jurisdiction, this was a great shame. As Long Qingting could not stand in Xia Chuan's position to speak for the Skeleton Association, he could only do his best to ask them not to jump to any conclusions, calm down, and consider whether there was any hidden story behind this matter.

"I told you about your time with me in the Northeast states, and also analyzed the doubts in this matter. They probably won't simply attribute the incident to the Skeleton Society, but given their behavior, they won't easily eliminate the Skeleton Society's suspicion." Long Qingting said on the phone. "In short, don't be impulsive, look for clues carefully. Even if you are misunderstood, don't make enemies with the Special Management Bureau, otherwise, they will really get what they want."

"I understand. Thank you very much."

"We don't need to talk about this." Long Qingting said. "I will continue to pay attention to this matter. If there is any inside information, I will tell you immediately."

Xia Chuan used the escape technique to move until he reached the vicinity of the temple where the incident occurred before he stopped. That area had become a ruin. As it was already completely dark, hundreds of workers and forensic personnel were continuing to sort and collect clues in the ruins under a lot of lights.

The area where the temple hall was supposed to be had been cleared, but the construction machinery was still working non-stop. The open space next to it was filled with corpses covered with white and blue plastic sheets.

Xia Chuan moved directly to that place. His sudden appearance immediately made the people around him nervous, but someone soon recognized his identity. Although they were still hostile, they did not take further action. Instead, they immediately reported using the walkie-talkie and called the on-site commander over.

"I'm Luo Pei from the Special Case Management Bureau's Fukuoka Office." The man who came over was a man of medium build, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, thin but with a certain kind of so-called immortal temperament, like a Taoist priest in a suit. Xia Chuan felt a clear spiritual energy from him, but it was not as extroverted and strong as Long Qingting's.

"I'm Haishan from the Skeleton Society." Xia Chuan said, suppressing his inner irritation. "Time is running out, shall we get straight to the point?"

Luo Pei nodded: "Okay, please follow me."

The bodies of the priestess and the chosen warrior were placed separately. In fact, it might be more appropriate to call them body parts.

While Xia Chuan was examining the body and confirming the identity, Luo Pei brought out a PDA and pulled up the surveillance video they had previously found.

"They are indeed our people," Xia Chuan said. "They are members of the Kyoto Skeleton Shrine, and they have been in office for less than a month. About twelve hours ago, they went to a farm west of Kobe to investigate a vicious alien incident because they received a request for help from the Kono Organization, and then disappeared. The Kono, Izumo, and Kenzan organizations are all involved in the mission to find them. All the records before their disappearance, including road surveillance videos and other materials, are also in Kono's possession. You can check them at will."

"So your contention is that they were not lucid and conscious when they came here and did these things?"

"If we were going to do these things, we could have done them more covertly and perfectly. It wouldn't have turned out like this. Our enemies are the Watchers, and our relationship with the Cheka isn't that good. Under these circumstances, what reason do we have to come to Kyushu to cause trouble?" Xia Chuan replied. "You should be able to guess why this happened."

"I personally agree with your statement, but speculation cannot be decisive evidence." Luo Pei said. "The Special Office needs more direct and stronger evidence."

"I'll find it out." Xia Chuan said.

"If it's a mind controller, he wouldn't be far away." Luo Pei said. "But we haven't found the suspect, and there's no information about a mind controller leaving the base and sneaking into Kyushu recently. We will cover this up as much as possible, and we will continue to look for clues. Mr. Haishan, I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible, let the dead rest in peace, and let the real murderer pay the price he deserves!"

Xia Chuan nodded.

Even if the truth cannot be found, certain people and organizations must pay the price.

Chapter 270 Anroseth

After agreeing on the contact person and information exchange method for both parties, Xia Chuan prepared to leave.

The ability and efficiency of the Tefu Office and the Shimabara Agency in conducting investigations in this area are definitely higher than his, and he has no way to use his abilities as he pleases in this land. It would be better for him to return to his own territory and continue to trace possible clues to see if he can find and kill the guy behind the scenes.

He simply reminded Luo Pei to pay attention to the ships that left Nagasaki or stayed in nearby waters during the incident, and then hurriedly left Kyushu Island.

At this time, new news suddenly came from Tokyo.

Another human sacrifice scene was discovered. This time, not only did the other party leave enough eyewitness evidence to point the finger at the Skeleton Society, but they also left clues for Akasaka to track. Kuroda Mitsuru has already sent people to track it down.

The question now is whether the Skeleton Society will take action?

"They may have received some information from Katagiri Mihui that is unfavorable to us, so they are testing us in this way!" The fox said. "It is best to remain unchanged in the face of all changes and wait for you to come back!"

"Okay!" Xia Chuan sped up.

But soon after ending the call with the fox demon, the same news came from Sato Kentaro!

A human sacrifice scene was discovered at the border of Kyoto and Osaka. The other party was also dressed as members of the Skeleton Society and directly killed the police who happened to pass by. At this moment, the Takano Agency is tracking them with all its might!

hateful!

Has he guessed that the so-called Skeleton Society is actually just a one-man show by him?

The shrine maiden Katagiri Mie who disappeared in Kobe and later died in Nagasaki was considered a key member of the trainee shrine maidens. Otherwise, Natsukawa would not have selected her to be sent to Kyoto in the first batch. She certainly had no right to know the secret that the so-called Mukuro, Mukuro, Mukuro and Mukuroyama were all Natsukawa's clones, but if the other party obtained her and the three chosen warriors' memories, it was possible that they would find that these four identities had never appeared at the same time and place.

Now they are creating trouble in various places at the same time, most likely to verify whether there will be other members of the Skeleton Society in Tokyo and Kyoto who will take action besides Haishan who just left Nagasaki!

If he takes action in Kyoto but does not respond to the earlier incident in Tokyo; or if he takes action in Tokyo but turns a blind eye to the incident in Kyoto, it is equivalent to showing his trump card to the other party.

But at the same time, if the Skeleton Society, which has at least four members, does not respond to the events happening in Tokyo and Kyoto that are damaging the Skeleton Society's reputation, it will be enough to make the Watchers believe that the strength they had previously demonstrated was just a bluff.

Needless to say, the military's attitude was to find various reasons to refuse to deploy fighter jets and missiles. Natsukawa quickly confirmed this through Kuroda Mitsuji.

The only good news is that this move by the military is enough to show that it is the Watchers who are behind the scenes. Apart from them, no other force can secretly command the Neon-American Army and the Japanese Army to refuse to cooperate with Akasaka's actions.

"Kiryu!" Natsukawa made the decision immediately.

Since there is no way to avoid the watcher seeing through the cards, the only thing we can do now is to show our fangs.

"Yes." Kiryu Ichiryu picked up the knife.

"Immediately disperse all the chosen warriors of God, and target the major bases of the Nemi Army!" Xia Chuan said. "Prioritize destroying military aircraft and weapons and equipment! If the enemy is well prepared and it is difficult to succeed, then aim to kill the living forces! Don't get hung up on a specific target, and kill as many enemies as possible while protecting yourself! Pilots, officers, technicians, start according to this priority!"

"Yes!" Kiryu Kazuryū immediately took action.

"Erika!"

"You said."

"Take Yui, Chiyu, and the miko to the embassy district and hide them! Do your best and delay it as long as you can!"

"...Okay." The fox hesitated for a moment. "Where are the believers?"

"I can't take care of them for the time being." Xia Chuan said gritting his teeth.

"If we gather them together..." said the fox demon, but immediately denied himself.

By gathering people in a certain venue and using the power of the magic circle, she might be able to transform their wishes into a powerful force. But doing so would also put more people in danger.

If the Watcher really sent a powerful evil god, or continuously attacked the magic circle with long-range weapons, she would not be able to hold on for long.

It might be safer for them to spread out across Tokyo.

Xiachuan rushed directly to the nearest US military base, Hiroshima.

There used to be a huge military port here, but when Xia Chuan arrived, he could no longer see many warships docked here. The only ones left were torpedo boats, minesweepers, supply ships and other worthless targets.

He rushed into an office, grabbed the highest-ranking officer inside, took him directly to the rooftop, and lowered him outside with one hand.

"Where have all the warships gone?"

"We received an urgent order to go to sea last night!" The officer answered loudly, not daring to take the risk.

"Where is your current location?"

"I'm sorry..."

In anger, Xia Chuan let go and let him fall like a stone.

A huge fireball suddenly appeared and smashed madly into the docks, warehouses and military camps near the port. A moment later, the entire port was engulfed in flames.

Xia Chuan did not wait for the missile attack and artillery bombardment he had expected, as if no one cared about what he did.

The sailors and logistics personnel began to run frantically towards the fire-fighting facilities. The fire brigades in Hiroshima City also arrived one after another. It became meaningless to continue venting anger with these people. Natsukawa did not want to waste time in such a place and began to move towards Kyoto. At this time, the strange phenomenon in the sky north of Hiroshima attracted his attention.

A large amount of resentment and death energy was gathering on the top of an office building, forming a huge black vortex. Lightning flashed faintly in the middle of the clouds, but what fell down was not thunder, but death energy like a tornado.

Such a scene immediately reminded him of what he saw in the northeastern states. The scale of resentment and death was actually not as large as that time, but the sophistication of the black vortex was far greater than that time.

The key point is that death energy is gathering, which may mean that someone is presiding over the formation down there!

Xia Chuan immediately changed direction and rushed towards that place.

With just a few teleportations, he rushed directly into the office building. As expected, there were already corpses everywhere inside. Judging from the clothes of those people, not only all the employees who originally worked here died, but also the surrounding residents and passers-by were all involved. The number of victims should easily exceed 500.

Xia Chuan moved quickly on different floors, and finally, he found the root of everything in the underground parking lot.

An evil body made entirely of flesh and blood, exuding an aura of madness and insanity.

Around it, there were also hundreds of victims.

"Haishan, you're finally here. Or, should I call you another name? Haizhai?" The disgusting monster said excitedly, shaking its tentacles.

"Anloses?"

Chapter 271 Self-limitation

"Haizhi, I'll call you by that name. Do you think you can fight the Watchers on your own? You are so arrogant to the point of stupidity." Anloses waved his tentacles and grinned. "A is willing to give you one last chance, Haizhi, you can become a member of the Watchers like me, as long as you are loyal."
